LGBTQ+ history and context1

Language, culture and nightlife1
Intersect Antigua-Barbuda publishes Caribbean feminist and queer-focused work. LGBTQ+, queer and Pride are useful English search terms; ordinary carnival or bar listings do not establish LGBTQ+ relevance.

Maps, platforms and community1
Use Intersect’s website and Instagram for public programmes. APPA’s federation profile describes inclusive health services. Confirm clinic access separately. For Barbuda travel, confirm ferry departures and the return journey.
